Girls und War

"I'll let Xia Shu demonstrate it to you. Please take a close look at what you should do. And also tell me where your problem lies." Shuibian said to the remaining recruits who were sitting there.

She then began giving Natsuki queue instructions.

It’s still the same few formation movements, but there are some subtle differences from the military formations on Earth.

Of course, Xia Shu could easily overcome these small differences.

Her movements were very standard, and she followed every command meticulously.

In fact, many new recruits face a problem: when they are in formation, their movements are quite standard, but when they are performing individual movements, they inexplicably fall behind.

After Xia Shu finished the whole set of movements, Shuibian nodded subconsciously.

Every detail is perfect.

Heel taps, arm swing spacing, footstep distance, etc.

If he didn't know, Shuibian would have thought he was manipulating an old non-commissioned officer.

"See? This is a standard move. Your problem is that you're too soft..."

Shuibian stopped talking midway.

The corporal smiled, and at some point she had brought her B squad to stand in the back row of A squad.

"You continue." Wei Xiao said with a smile.

"Uh..." Shuibian didn't know what to say.

Wei Xiao suddenly stood on tiptoe and greeted Class C monitor Jiang Jiang who was not far away.

"Sergeant, sergeant, please bring your new recruits here!" She smiled brightly.

"What?" Jiang Jiang touched his head softly.

"Come and see the pacesetter."

Jiang Jiang nodded seriously and said to the new recruits in his class, "Stand up!"

Then he took a class of little girls and stood opposite Class A and Class B.

"Hurry up, do it again." Smile urged.

Shuibian had no choice but to ask Xia Shu to demonstrate it again.

She performed all the movements meticulously without any mistakes.

Then all the recruits in the platoon applauded.

"What's the name of this new recruit?" Jiang Jiang looked surprised.

"Excellent student!" Genius Sheng said proudly, as if he had completed a whole set of movements by himself.

Al slapped her hard on the head.

"Her name is Xia Shu." Shuibian replied.

"That's what a soldier is," Jiang Jiang looked at the group of little girls in her class, "What are you guys? Circus performers? Can you try harder?"

"Yes! Squad leader!" The new recruits of Class C looked at Sergeant Jiang Jiang lovingly.

"Hmph, one or two, all like this." She walked away angrily.

At this time, the whistle for the end of the break sounded again.

Each class returned to their positions to continue training.

Shuibian gave Xia Shu a rare short break and let her sit aside and rest.

Xia Shu felt that there was no need for it, but if he could catch the fish openly, why not do it?

She sat on the steps and watched the group of soft recruits continue their soft training, which she found very interesting.

It feels like I’ve returned to my nostalgic days as a recruit.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a figure standing upstairs, looking at me.

Xia Shu raised his head and saw the dozing major.

When Natsuki looked over, Kamei smiled at her.

Then he turned his head and walked away leisurely.

15. About the Miss

Ever since a little girl in a platoon watched Xia Shu's drill training, she became a celebrity.

The whole company has heard that Xia Shu from Class A of the Third Platoon is super awesome.

Wherever she went, people gathered to watch.

To be honest, it's quite awkward.

When I was an excellent special forces sniper, I didn’t feel that other people’s gazes were particularly intense.

Mainly, the gazes on her turned into a group of little girls——

But deep down in her heart, she subconsciously regarded herself as a man.

This will make people feel a little shy.

As a former straight man, that’s what I am like.

On the surface, Xia Shu looked calm and silent.

In fact, my cheeks were already burning, and I wished I could pour cold water over my head all the time.

She could only choose to hide and try not to appear in the crowd.

Putting all that aside, she got along pretty well with the new recruits in her class.

The girls in the class each have their own personalities, and there are no shortcomings that are difficult for them to tolerate in each other.

Most importantly, there was a genius who always livened up the class atmosphere. The whole atmosphere in Class A was extremely happy.

Even the most taciturn second-generation military glaive kept her words to herself. She never confronted Xia Shu directly.

Xia Shu would also teach them some training tips whenever he had nothing to do.

This surprised Shuibian a little.

There are some little tricks that even she doesn't know.

The girls in Class A were generally quite positive and none of them wanted to quit because the work was too hard.

In fact, several students from other classes have already applied to withdraw.

The boot camp responded that after three months of training, these applicants will hold a unified demotion ceremony.

Natsuki also thought about the cleverness of this reply.

The military did not completely agree, nor did they completely reject it. They just gave them some time to buffer.

When the recruits backed down, quitting became the ultimate bottom line.

The three-month grace period didn't immediately cause new recruits to hit rock bottom. During this time, officers could provide them with psychological counseling. Some recruits simply applied on impulse and weren't sure they'd actually quit. Once the grace period was over, recruits gradually accustomed to the hardships of military service. If a recruit truly couldn't stand it, it wouldn't be too late to resign.

In fact, human beings have a strong tolerance. The cleverness of the boot camp is that it grasps a gradual process.

In addition, one advantage of delaying retirement is that there will be no new recruits who quit on the spot, which would lead to more wavering recruits making irrational decisions.

Lieutenant Hua will be very busy during this period.

As a life coach and psychologist, she has to provide psychological counseling to each applicant.

In fact, many applicants will decide to cancel their applications after a period of persuasion.

Most of them understand that these hardships are within an acceptable range. But sometimes, human beings are easily overwhelmed by emotions.

Back to Xia Shu's interactions with the new recruits in Class A, these new recruits are extremely looking forward to the "infiltration simulated battlefield" they will experience in the future.

They often hang around the water, asking questions.

After answering various detailed questions, Shuibian would always turn the topic back to the current basic training.

After all, basic training is what soldiers rely on for survival.

They are also quite studious and would ask Mizube and Natsuki questions about common knowledge in military training.

Xia Shu also answered all the questions he knew.

Later, Xia Shu realized that among all the new recruits, the one who asked her the most questions was Jia, who was called "Miss".

Xia Shu felt that Jia was not used to the nickname "Miss", so he tried not to call her by it.

Jiaping was a quiet person, and except during training, she rarely spoke nonsense. Xia Shu had observed her and found that her every move was extremely well-mannered, and her speech and manners were impeccable.

She is a real young lady.

Xia Shu knew that children raised by their parents were much rarer than children like them who grew up freely in childcare centers.

The Blue Star people are very strict about raising children.

If you want to raise a child yourself, you must pass a series of parenting tests.

This is to prevent irresponsible parents from raising bad children who are abandoned by society.

If parents want to raise their children, they must first achieve a certain level of social points.

The Blue Planet society has now eliminated the concept of money. Whether you are rich or not depends entirely on how many points you get from your social contributions.

Points are the circulating currency and can be used to buy anything you want from social business organizations.

Private currency transactions are shameful to the Blue Star people and are not accepted by society.

Bearer currency is as primitive to them as barter.

Only parents, fathers or mothers with a sufficiently rich points reserve are qualified to raise children personally after passing a rigorous parenting test.

Children educated in this way will surely be excellent, happy and useful to society.

Parents who are not allowed to do so must send their children to childcare centers for centralized growth and education even if they give birth to them.

These children will be cared for by the society as a whole and grow up healthily as the children of all the people of Blue Star.

This kind of parenting method ensures that the social offspring of the Blue Star people will at most be a waste and a burden to mankind - but they will definitely not be a heartless criminal.

Of course, humanitarian and human rights are also highly valued here. Although parents do not have the right to raise their children, they still have the right to visit them.

The childcare center is right there and can be visited at any time.

If you live nearby, you can go there every day.

But do these parents who do not have the qualifications to raise children really have such patience?

At least Xia Shu could count on one hand the number of times he had seen his parents since he was a child.

Xia Shu didn't know what Jia's parents did.

But he must have a lot of social points and be very rich.

At least that's what she said.

Jia has little interest in material enjoyment, but she is very passionate about military life.

Although the military quality needs to be improved, the attitude is absolutely positive.

During training, she trained the hardest except for War Blade.

And Xia Shu is probably the least serious one.

To her, these recruit trainings were no different from playing house.

After the camp opened the high-tech equipment training area to the new recruits, Xia Shu would go there to train during breaks.

If it weren't for the requirement for new recruits to participate in group training, she would have applied to Shuibian and trained alone.

Xia Shu ran to the training area every day, and Jia followed her and ran there every day.

Then Xia Shu would often give her some pointers.

As a result, her military level grew at an efficiency visible to the naked eye.

If Zhan Jian has something to do, he will follow silently without saying a word and train silently on his own.
